Nutrition Month Celebration!

Nutrition Month is the timer of the year when the public's attention is focused on nutrition along a chosen theme. The theme for the Nutrition month was "Wastong Nutrition Pangalagaan, Lifestyle Diseases Iwasan". It emphasized the popularization of the Nutritional Guidelines for Filipinos, a set of messages to promote good health through proper nutrtion in the pursuit of improved qua;ity of life.


Lifestyle Diseases are the greatest problem of our country. It is not due to the scarcity of food because the Phillipines is rich in vegetable products but due to the wrong intake or improper utilization of food by the body. All throughout life, people need the same food nutrients but in the varying amounts depending upon their age, sex, siza, activity and state of health. In deprived, depressed, and underserved barangays, lifestyle diseases usually occur.
